Страница 113 - And yet Time hath his revolutions; there must be a period and an end to all temporal things —finis rerum — an end of names. and dignities, and whatsoever is terrene; —and why not of De Vere ?— for where is BOHUN?

Thou pretendest to be a preacher of the gospel of peace, and thou hast one foot in the grave ; it is time for thee to begin to think what account thou intendest to give ; but leave thee to thyself and I see thou wilt go on as thou hast begun ; but, by the grace of God, I'll look after thee.

Страница 125 - I do not hear yet, that you have spoken one word against me; here is no treason of mine done; if my Lord Cobham be a traitor, what is that to me ? Coke — All that he did was by thy instigation, thou viper ; for I thou thee, thou traitor!
